Is it Bad if My Enamel Dutch Oven, Skillet, or Pot is Chipped?

[@myoutdooradventures6378]

I love when I punch in the most random question I to the KZbin search bar and I find what I’m looking for. This video is the perfect example of that !! Thanks for the random good info !! 😊

[@maxfactor315]

Happy to have this answered. I stopped using my Dutch oven because of the chip. Now I will start using again. TFS.

[@Theseventhknight]

yall tell me 'dont heat it when it's empty' and also tell me to 'preheat it in the oven at 500 for 30 full minutes' when i'm making bread. which one am i supposed to go with? i love bread!

[@Mary2020Jane]

I did the same thing. Bottom of the Dutch Oven looks like it burned through the enamel to the cast iron.

[@teresadiservio761]

Ok ladies & gentlemen - So I decided to get daring and use my Dutch oven again, only of course on a different burner. It worked fine! Because the damage on mine is on the bottom outside enamel, It doesn't affect the food inside, and it apparently doesn't affect how it heats on the inside. Sadly, I still need to replace my cooktop, but I've been putting that off because of course it's going to be expensive. Right now I just keep that spot covered up with a pretty white tea kettle. 😆

[@teresadiservio761]

@Dylan Allard - I noticed that too... I would imagine it's because when it's empty sitting in the oven, it's going to heat uniformly. When it's sitting on the stove, it's of course going to heat the bottom more than the rest.. just guessing. Anyway - a very expensive lesson learned for me. 😞

[@mariya1930]

That’s exactly how mine chipped 😭 the recipe stated to preheat at 450 degrees for 30 minutes... I failed to realize that it is safe up to 400 and shouldn’t be warmed up empty. I am guessing the preheat instructions are for non-coated cast iron.

[@pierrex3226]

Hehe, same here. Bottom line: I think it accelerates wear to bake bread with these things. A Dutch oven without an enamel coating would probably care less. I'm considering sourcing an cheap battered second hand Dutch oven just to make bread.

[@pierrex3226]

There are lots of Dutch ovens that are not enamel coated, it's just cast iron. Or the outside is coated, not the inside. I have one like that. So, if you chip the enamel, you've exposed the iron, so you're completely fine. The only danger is further chips, and eating the enamel.

[@brianminkc]

Exactly, ingesting enamel isn't a good idea. Chips can get stuck in your colon and they are very sharp.

I bought a Dutch oven pot from Costco...their brand called Kirkland. ITS THE BOMB!!! Very big, high quality for only 39.00!!!! I absolutely love it!

[@Boulevardfree]

Actually older enamel (respectively base layer substance) often contained lead and/or cadmium. So this info may be borderline dangerous in case of chipped vintage cookware.

@@Beyourbest88 while i cant give a hard date, i would say anything made before the 80s would fall in that realm.

Thank you for pointing out that scraping metal on enameled cast iron is bad. There's a surprising number of videos that recommend it for cleaning and obviously it ruins the enamel. Not to where it's not usable obviously but it looks horrendous.

[@SharonMartinez]

I was always taught to never use any metal utensils on such pans and pots. Question: if a tea kettle has a coating on it and it chips and then there are rust spots on the bottom, inside of the teapot, is it okay to continue using it - especially after cleaning it thoroughly on the inside?

[@martynwindsor3274]

Not necessarily an "Is it Bad" question but I would love to America's Test Kitchen produce a series on different materials in the kitchen (difference between stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper etc). Specifically I'd love to see a KZbin series about cooking on/with tin-lined copper pans. There is very little contemporary information about care/use/recommendations/limitations for cooking with tin-lined pans... But if I were to have an "Is it Bad" question, I'd like to know is it bad to use aluminum pans?

[@richardlynch329]

I would assume if the enamel is beginning to chip then it will most likely continue to chip into my food over time. The heat and thermal expansion of the enamel and cast iron are different, and a layer has already been broken.

[@kjeldschouten-lebbing6260]

The bond between the two is not stronger or weaker due to it being uncovered in a portion of it. It's not paint.

Can you season the enamel inside of the skillet to keep the rest of it from popping off? Every time I use my skillet, the enamel pops off while I'm cooking.

[@foxybuddy]

my fry pan and oven pot are plain cast iron without any coating as I am rough when cooking. But i always clean up after cooking, season the skillet after heat up. 15 years passed my skillet and fry pan are both in perfect condition. They can last forever.

[@captainbongwater7790]

It is extremely dangerous to tell people that using chipped ECI is okay. The enamel will continue to craze and chip and you will find broken enamel inside of your food. This can lead to internal bleeding.

[@kjeldschouten-lebbing6260]

There is actually no evidence for that. It's not like paint, there is an inherent bond between iron and enamel, that is not much more likely to chip when it's surrounded by an chipped or uncovered surface. Look at the top of the pan, that's often also uncovered and doesn't magically release the enamel either. The size of micro chipping, would not be much more dangereus than most other specs of things inside food you eat every day.

[@bighoose]

You just confirmed my gut feeling (excuse the pun). My enamel pot chipped but if it chips further while I'm cooking and don't see it in my food then eat it, I'm basically eating chipped glass true? Thinking about throwing the whole thing out to save a hospital trip!

[@FrancisoDoncona]

Is it bad if the non-stick pan is heavily scratched? If the skillet/pan is scratched and no longer sticks, should it be replaced? Also, above my stove there are wooden cabinets that go along the kitchen. Is it bad to keep pot uncovered? Will it warp the wood over time if there is nothing to take away or push the steam?

I read "perfection" in all their marketing literature. Is this expected with enamel dutch ovens or was my expectation of Perfection for a $300 pot different from theirs? Thanks!

Ty. Is it still safe if I used steel scrubby. I was scrubbing stuck on brown hunch.and it was scrubbing it clean back to the white color but the middle was still a weird gray color. After doing this it looks good except the gray center witch I stopped scrubbing at that point in case I was hurting it. But the smooth glassy coating seems not smooth anymore like I scrubbed through it and now worry is it safe if I did scrub the clear finish off or will ceramic seep into my food. I love my oven but. Ow afraid to use it I’ll never use that scrubby again.

[@sergeantrhopwnzoncss]

Don't worry, even a bit of steel wool scrubbing would dull the surface. People use that as a technique to get a matte finish on surfaces: You roughen it up and it no longer reflects light uniformly because on a microscopic level it now resembles fine sandpaper instead of smooth glass. If it's still smooth touch and you don't hard scrub it all the time, it should be fine. You could try baking soda and soap paste on the soft side of the sponge to make it a bit shinier again, followed by some smooth /not coarse/ toothpaste. That would take a few sessions over time of prolonged scrubbing to make a dent though, so restoring the shine is not an easy errand.

[@teresadiservio761]

Hannah - What if the OUTSIDE part of the bottom has a big divot... like as in - I put a pot if water on to boil & forgot it & it got SO HOT that it actually took out a chunk of the bottom & broke my dang smooth cooktop of my stove? Is this still OK to use? 😢 And thanks - great video!!

Hi Hannah! What an awesome addition to the ATK family!! 👍 My question is… I have a relatively inexpensive full set of Cuisinart enamel coated pots and pans.They are definitely not cast iron underneath the enamel. (obvious reasons being price and light weight of these pots & pans). I’ve taken great care to protect enamel surface with respect to utensils used etc., however, during handwashing of these pots and pans it seems that “wear” streaks have started appearing in a circular fashion around inside of saucepots. I was baffled until I realized all of this damage must be coming from my rings on my fingers as I wash these all by hand & that is the only thing that makes any sense. I know these are cheap pans, but how dangerous is this with respect to my health since clearly this must be aluminum underneath the enamel?? Thank you in advance for your help!

[@saunders7160]

Can you fix chip or prevent from spreading more?

[@sergeantrhopwnzoncss]

If your enameled cookware is chipped and you don't want to turn it into a flower pot, you can strip it down to conventional cast iron. Just tell the man of the house you love it too much to give up and send them on a Saturday adventure with an angle grinder, flap pads, a dust mask and various grades of very fine sandpaper until silky smooth, then grapeseed oil it and back into the kitchen it goes. Not everyday easy but not particularly hard if you go at it slowly and gradually, and the effort for beloved items is worth it.

[@2BinNYC]

So how do you keep it from rusting once you chip the enameled part?

[@hobby-cantina]

All cast iron and most pans all just need some oil sprayed on them and wipe them down. Rust gone.

[@ildart8738]

"Not to heat your pot when it's empty" - in the USSR we only had glazed pots and pans, as well as cast iron frying pans. No T-Fal which apparently thinks about us (I still have not figured out what exactly it thinks about us), no ceramic pans. Just good old steel or aluminium pans which will not emit any harmful metals if you do not scrub them hard enough, and let enough burnt organic material bake itself into the frying pan.

[@Onikens]

I seem to have a brown substance seeping though the cracks of the enamel. I’m assuming this is rust. Is there a way to remedy this issue?

That sucks. 😞 Salts (both food safe and those used for cleaning, such as powdered dishwasher detergent) can cause pitting when it is in contact with many different metals in high concentrations for too long. I never considered this regarding cookware until about 10 years ago when I bought a new stainless steel pot. The pamphlet said not to use strong salts for cleaning and to bring water to a boil before adding salt. But I did to it as I've always done with my mom's old SS set since I was a kid and have never had problems with either the new or old. Shrug. I've never put them in the dishwasher (don't have one) but I do use powdered detergent (Cascade) in them for soaking and scrubbing burnt on food. They come out perfectly clean with no blemishes.

I had Corningware ? explode in front of me when I was a kid; most horrifying experience actually. Shards is an understatemeny;I never saw splinters so fine. It didn't shatter like regular glass we are familiar with.
